What is my prized possession in my house? (in Contests)

Prize is 1M, yes that is 1 followed by 6 (six) zeros.

Rules:

One guess per contestant per 24 hours. That means if you guess at 5pm one day, no next guess till 5pm the next day. Failure to follow this means a DQ.

One can "buy" hints for 25k each, hints should be yes/no format. If you buy a guess, you get an extra guess. The 25k goes to the pot.

All other rules are for me to decide.

When someone gets the answer, I will explain why it is so prized by me.

Have fun.

PS, Th00p gets 1 free guess due to the fact this is a variation on his contest.

You golf clubs

your family

your wife

Your diploma.

no, ill give ya this. it not living.

your computer.

your Sofa

Your car. (Do you have one? You probably do. :P)

Your gun ?

While I love my Car, an Audi S6, and my gun, a Glock 17, neither is my prized possession.

The other guesses were incorrect also.

Your china set.

your pillow

no and no

One other point, Hints are to be posted in this thread. If someone spends 25k on a hint, then they get 20 min from the time I post the answer to take a guess. Others can post their guesses but if the hint buyer posts his within that 20 min, his gets priority.

Could it be a fireplace?

some sort of signed merchandise by a famous person? :P worth a shot =)

no, but i do have a signed Dan Marino Football.

a memento from a special occasion.

thats a bit too vague TH, Please be more specific.

diplomas

no, but they do hang on my wall, alongside my wife's.

TH, the money is not for a guess, those are free. 25k is for a hint in the form of a yes/no question.

I'm refunding the money now

BKM, take another guess.

Is it medical related?

OK, for the people in the back row who obvious did not hear me the first time.

Guesses are free, 1 a day. Yes/no questions will cost you 25k each.

Right now, only TH paid for a yes/no question. With that 25k you get a free guess anytime.

your computer

Jake, computer was already guessed and it still is not my prized possession.

Your stethoscope?

No, but good guess Jugger.

However if you look up what a Radiologist does, you will see I never use a stethoscope. In fact, I don't even know where the one from medical school is anymore.

A picture of you and your first big fish .

Great pic of the future Slash, but it's not a pic of me and my first fish. I really do not like fishing-very boring.

Nerevas (Black Sophist) 75.18.40.89 QBRanger (Koyaanisqatsi) $25000 7:38 PM EDT

Is it something passed down in your family either by your father or even multiple generations beyond that?

Is it an image you used to save someone's life?

Nere, no, it is not an heirloom

But you do get a guess in the future!

no, it is not an image. Great guess though. Very nice.

It's not living, it's something you could have gotten 2 or 3 years ago, it's as big as a watermelon, break if it falls from ten feats, and works with electricity.

I have to put a correction.

It is a bit smaller then a watermelon. About the size of a pineapple.

Due to this. All guesses are reset and everyone gets to guess again, that is the 24 hour waiting period is over. Stored guesses are still stored.

sorry for the inconvenience.

Wierd First guess but a kettle.

a baseball?

It is not a kettle (i am not a warlock), and not a baseball (I have one signed by the 78 Yankees).

I know it is not food, but does it have something to do with food(I consider drink as food) like a coffee maker.

no, nada to do with food or foodstuffs.

I'd say it is the love of your life, your wife (and if you don't have a wife, your girlfriend or fiance)

I do love my wife, but as I already typed, I do not possess her. She, however, possesses me entirely.

Is is a football?

Not a football, but above I did mention I have a signed Dan Marino football in my house.

Okay, not living, runs on electricity, size of pineapple. Not a video, or a diploma... not food (who guessed food? lol)

Hmm... Will break if dropped 10 feet. How you responded made me think it was fragile.

Hmm...

Darn the electric thing... it makes this hard....

Guesses I thought of and eliminated(DO NOT CONSIDER THESE GUESSES) Can opener (retarded, I know)...

Okay.... so my actual guess is....

Is it a music box?

Not a music box

Well pineapple sized nixes the singing bass I was thinking of so I'll say One of those Bose radio thingy's .

Ah, the Billy Bass thing. I got one as a gift after leaving my last job. Had it for a year. it is not a radio.

is it your mom?

If people would read the other posts, one can see it is not a living thing.

And my Mom passed away July last year.

And my God AOD, do you think I still live with my mother, even if she was still with us?

Beer mug? A mug the size of an pineapple would be quite a mug;)

It is not a drinking utensil.

Some kind of Camera

Is it a lamp?

nope x2.

Question #3: Does it have something to do with water?

portable tv?

No to the portoble TV

Camcorder

No, but the Camcorder is on top of the dresser in the bedroom :) One guess where it is pointed.

Electronic agenda?

I have no idea what an electronic agenda is ?PDA. Either way, nope.

Ok,

24 hour rule is off now. However you must wait for 10 others to guess before you can try again. Those with stored guesses can use them to avoid this rule.

is it one of those boxes you keep things in and every time you open it music comes on?

TH is DQ'd. please read the freaking rules.

your Mirror?

I may be vain like Carly says, but not that much.

I guess your alarm clock. Not usually someone's prized possession, but for someone who has missed as little BA as you have, it's a possibility. *chuckles*

guess 1 was free. paid for guess 2. guess 3 came after you reset the guessing since its the size of a pineapple not watermelon. guess 4 came after you said 24 hour rule is off.

TH, he said you have to wait 10 guesses.

Ok, I may buy that TH. I'll let it pass in the spirit of friendship, but everyone now needs to wait 10 guesses from their last one.

however, everything was reset so it counts as a guess after 24 hours.

Hint, for free.

Someone in this post guessed something that is close to what the item is. A variation of the possession I prize so much.

However, there will be no paid guesses like "Was xxx the person who was close?"

doh, agenda is in french sorry my bad. :P

or is it in English too.

Xbox 360!

nope, not a video game.

A compact disc

Nope, not a CD, or even a DVD.

a homer simpson bust that speaks?

No Rubberduck, but your getting on the right track.

One of those talking fish thingies?

No, we do not have fish in my house that talk. That's just not right.

I'm talking about this thingy.

could not get that video to play, however it is not what my my prized possession is.

some kind of audio speaker?

a piece of Star Wars memorabilia

no audio speakers.

I also think Star Wars was a vastly overrated movie.

psh come on, Empire Strikes Back is brilliant. The line Harrison Ford says right before he is frozen to Princess Leia after she says she loves him is one of the best in cinematic history:

"I Know."

That's manlier than anything even John McClane ever said.

Would it perhaps be the Andy Bergholtz sculpted resin bust of Bruce Campbell as Ash, chainsaw held high and boomstick on his back, that was released as a limited edition of 7,500 copies back in 2003?

No, but I would like to see that. I am a huge Evil Dead fan.

portable dvd player?

Not a portable DVD or CD or MP3 player.

no, but getting closer.

It does have light associated with it, but that is not its primary function.

Another clue: It is in my office.

Your cable modem/router?

No, It is something that to me is irreplaceable.

IS NOT: golf clubs; family; wife; diploma; computer; sofa; car; gun; china; pillow; fireplace; signature; memento (too vague says he); dog; journal; stethoscope; fish pic; med image; cellphone; x-ray; teddy bear; watch; air conditioner; clock; cigar; tv; shoes; id; LOTR (doesn't own OMG!!!); mug; guitar; movie; mp3 player; home theater; lazy boy; backstage pass; radio; breadmaker; coffee maker; medal; laptop; painting; kettle; base ball; music box; camera; lamp; shredder; ps2; blender; singing bass; camcorder; PDA; mirror; alarm clock (still a clock); x box; cd/dvd; homer bust; star wars stuff; Ash bust; tivo; phone; toaster; special lamp; mini boat; NES; fish tank; geode; GPS; paper weight; six fingered hand

HINTS: not living; not related to chillins; not an heirloom; is replaceable; got it 2-3 years ago; not in bedroom, but could be; does use electricity; will break if dropped 10 feet; not food; actually about the size of pineapple; not water related; someone was close, guessed a "variation" of it; homer bust is on the right track; not a bust; special lamp is "getting closer"; does emit light, but not primary function; not from hardware store

wait, you said it was replaceable...arg...

Let me clarify replaceable.

The object itself can be replaced. The reason behind it being prized, of course, cannot if it is lost or stolen.

Hope that helps.

hope no one said Family picture ;p

OK,

My very very very bad,

Bad Ranger, very bad RaNGER.

I missed a guess way above.

a cartoon themed phone?

YES, But what cartoon. RD wins 1M CB2.

these hints were taken AFTER RD guessed right so here is the refund. Their free guesses will still be in play.

Also, as to the reason why-you need to be specific like "you wife gave it to you when you graduated residency" or something more along those lines.

Mickey Mouse

Because you're mother gave it to you as a present.

Goofy

Because it was... one of your kid's first present to you?

''Because it was one or the only item left intact after a very damaging fire.''

Sorry, that's grim, it happened near me though, that's why it came to mind :P

This seems too obvious but a Homer Simpson phone . Because it looks just like you dad ! he he !

not mickey, goofy or homer.
It was not the only possession left after a house fire

Bugs Bunny, because he says "What's up Doc" and you happen to be a "Doc"?

Humm...good guess there Tezmac, right or not.

Not bugs, however I do love that phone for the reasons you stated.

Eric Cartman? Cause the phone was given to you by the creators of South Park who you met?

Oh, and Miandrital, I already guessed a singing bass.

not Cartman, or Bartman or Darkman.

spawn

it commemorates the first comic convention you went to

I wish I could find a spawn phone, no that is not it.

Betty Boop Phone... Looks like your wife...

''Garfield phone''.

Marvin the Martian? He's so cool.

Not Betty Boop, C'mon, i'm a Man's Man
Not Garfield, I'm a dog person
Marvin, hmmm. I wish I could find one like that. I have an alarm clock of him. When he pops up it says "Wake up earthling, you haven't got all lightyear".

But it is not my phone.

Kermit The Frog?

scooby doo!

Not a frog

spiderman novelty phone?

your Superman-themed phone?

Not Spidey or SuperDuperMan.

Underdog! haha

When I was young I had a nice crush on Sweet Polly PureBred, but alas not a Wonderdog phone.

Goofy? Because you are? :O)

Goofy as I am, my phone is not.

A mickey mouse phone.

Because it was the first thing you bought for your own money.

not Mickey which i think was already guessed.

I did not buy it for myself.

QBRanger, 3:17 PM EDT
Not Betty Boop, C'mon, i'm a Man's Man

My dad was a mans man, and he knew, as well as do other mans men, that Betty Boop is second only to Jessica Rabbit... It's well known... and hot girls (On phones or ties, etc...) is cool.

Peter Griffon from Family Guy?

G.I. Joe
your favorite show as a kid?

not GI Joe or Family Guy

is it an old cartoon ?

Wylde, that is too general. Unless your paying for a guess, i cannot answer it.

I meant hint.

Fred Flinstone?

Vintage Mickey Mouse Phone

Doh, sorry there are too many responses to read.

How about a really old school phone with the separate ear and mouth pieces, that has a crank on the side.

Dilbert Calendar
Close To Home Calendar

snoopy phone?

So far noone is right.

The Tick?

No not the Tick, however kudos if you can find me a phone like that.

A Hong Kong Phooey Phone!

He is the number 1 superguy, but is not my phone.

An Optimus Prime phone because he totally rocks.

nope, sry

a spidermen doll

fat albert phone
you played him in a school play

Your computer, required if you wanna blend!

Buzz Lightyear phone

Nope for all guesses so far

Asterix and/or Obelisk?

Oops, Obelix not Obelisk.

Nothing so esoteric. It is a relatively common cartoon character.

anybody said the Simpson's yet ? homer maybe ?

Homer was said, the whole Simpson family is not it.

Road Runner or Wiley Coyote =)

Closer Glory but BOTH guesses are wrong. Please wait now 20 guesses for your next one.

A looney tunes phone?

but what loony tune :P

exactly, which one?

About time.

Now, part 3, Why?

Woo Tazz Rules !!

Was it because he was your favorite Cartoon and one of your first gifts given to you ? =)

no

because hes the coolist looney toon

cause taz got his own show, tazmania?
this is an intense what am i the prize possession

nope

Taz is the one that reminds you most of your childhood memories, tv, disneyland..

Hurray for Ranger! hes awesome

No, nothing with reminding me of my youth.

Because it is one of your children's favorite characters! =D

nope, nothing to do with my kids.

Is it a Juggernaut phone?

Cause....don't you know who I am!?!? I'm the Juggernaut!!! :o

cause Taz is an epic force of masterful destruction?

Because Taz reminds you of your first love? That girl in 2nd grade with an extreme case of the hairies and A.D.D.? You know the one I mean... what was her name again?

Taz is the master of destruction but not the reason I hold the phone as my prized possession.

I did not have a "crush" till high school. At least one I can remember.

Um because you have always wanted to go to Tasmania ?

Because it was a gift from someone special?

Beowolf, that is a bit wayyyy to general. I am looking for something more specific.

Fathers day present from the kids?

No, my kids are only 5 and 2, so they get me things like freehand drawings they make as school.

because you totally get his life philosophies?

Because you got it from your mom.

BB is almost there.

But why is this particular item so special to me.

Was this phone purchased for you by your mother, either on a trip to Disneyworld or a local Disney store, after learning that your wife was pregnant with your second child?

I do not normally post CMs but novice did get it right.

It was the last gift from my mom to be before she died last year from lung cancer.

500k to novice

And yes, Novice did guess before 10 others, but hey, he did get it right.

thanks Ranger...I wasn't posting here to try and follow the rules...thanks (again) for the win!

Thanks Ranger, nice contest.

Two thumbs up!
